MAP & LOCATION
Nestled on a hilltop in Fiesole, one of Florence’s most scenic regions, Villa San Michele overlooks the historic city and the Arno Valley below.
Location
Ruled by the powerful Medicis for centuries, Florence abounds in magnificent art and architecture. The capital of Tuscany, it was the birthplace of the Renaissance and the most important city in Europe from the 14th to early 16th centuries.
Alongside its treasure-filled galleries, museums and churches, Florence is famous for its picturesque bridges. The most famous of these, the Ponte Vecchio, is lined with jewellery shops that seem to be suspended over the water.
